ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: THE NEW YORKER. John Mandel’s bestselling new novel, Sea of Tranquility! Rife with unexpected beauty, The Glass Hotel is a captivating portrait of greed and guilt, love and delusion, ghosts and unintended consequences, and the infinite ways we search for meaning in our lives.

In this captivating story of crisis and survival, Emily St. Years later, a victim of the fraud is hired to investigate a strange occurrence: a woman has seemingly vanished from the deck of a container ship between ports of call. Vincent, who had been posing as Jonathan’s wife, walks away into the night. When his scheme collapses, it obliterates countless fortunes and devastates lives. High above Manhattan, a greater crime is committed: Alkaitis's billion-dollar business is really nothing more than a game of smoke and mirrors. On the night she meets Jonathan Alkaitis, a hooded figure scrawls a message on the lobby's glass wall: Why don’t you swallow broken glass. 
Vincent is a bartender at the Hotel Caiette, a five-star lodging on the northernmost tip of Vancouver Island.
